“Margie has grown in her service to the Food Bank over several years. She started with simply donating and quickly moved to sponsoring our charity golf outing,” Fowler-Johnston said. “The last two years Margie has put on the Women, Wine, Fashion and Finance fundraiser and it has expanded as well.”
The Women, Wine, Fashion & Finance fundraiser benefits the BackPack program, which gives at-risk children food to eat after they get home from school. This year’s fundraiser raised over $32,000, which feeds all the children in Genesee County.
“I’m happy and humbled to be recognized by the Food Bank,” Shard said. “Things like the BackPack program are so valuable for our community and having the chance to push it forward is something I don’t take lightly. Next year’s fundraiser will be even bigger!
